I wonder how many subscribers and advertising clients threatened (or did) pull their funding of The Atlantic?

The the time I saw it hit front page here, to now hasn't been that long. Must have hurt their bottom line.

Or the sensibilities of their editorial staff, some of whom may not have even known about it until it went out.

Damage is already done, though.

If they show that they take this screw-up seriously, then they could still come out looking pretty good.
They'll have to do better than the one sentence non-reply they have posted, but I totally agree. All organizations mess up, how they handle it can be instructive.
